THE wife of Gadget Shop tycoon Chris Gorman is trying to strike a deal with US prosecutors to avoid appearing in court.

Mary Gorman, 43, is charged with assaulting a police officer after she was allegedly caught in a sex act with an unknown man in a Florida nightclub toilet as her husband watched. No charges were brought.

The Scots-based mum was also said to be carrying a small amount of cocaine.

She has denied the allegations, but her lawyers are asking for her to be allowed to do 100 hours’ community service.
